gers. A little additional weight is not
minded, and twenty or thirty pas
sepgers, more or less, make no diiler-
tnce. About noon the car with
forty passengers started ont on q
trip of fourteen miles down through
the heart of the city and then to Gray's
Ferry. The stored electricity furnish
ed not only ample motive power but
brilliant light from number OF incan-
descent lamps and rang loud warning
bells at crossings, and also, in response
10 pressure on buttons in different parts
of the car, rang smaller bells to notify
the conductor when TO stopor go ahead.
The smooth movement was most
striking. The car is managed by one
person on the front platform by means
Of small wheel, like the wheel of a
brakeman on a steam-car. The car
ran over the common car tracks OF
the city, some OF them in very bad
condition, with the greatest ease, and
from the very start secured the appro-
val of the inspecting party. The per
feet manner in which the sharpest
curves were turned, the facility with
which the car went forwards or back
wards, and was transferred from one
track to another were most gratifying.
At the sound of the call the car was
stopped in the middle of sharp curve,
or when going up or down grade, and
startedagain in less time than could have
been done with horses. When going
at the rate of three miles an hour the
car can be stopped in half its length.
The charged batteries, which run
the car about half n day, can be
changed in three minutes. If the car
should get off the track, which has
only happened once or twice, the pas
sengers do not get ont, and the car
runs over the cobblestones until it
strikes the track again. There is no
danger in case of storms. The inspect
ing party yesterday afternoon rode
down town through heavy storm, feel
ing perfectly secure. In the heart OF
the city crowds collected to see the
motor wherever it stopped, and along
its route it attracted great attention.
The cry was frequently heard 1T
beats the cable ! and this, too, in To-
cahties where the streets are now torn
up for the laying of new cable lines"

There may after all be some doubt as
TO the place at which the monument to
General Lee should be erected. The
Richmond City Council throws at least
a doubt upon the claim of that city to
be the site of the memorial-stOne by
refusing to make an adequate appro-
pnation in aid of it. Around Peters
burg were developed those sublime
traits of soldiership and moral frmness
ON which the highest fame of General
!. zee must rest. Here then appropriate
w, on some of those blood-stained
Heights consecrated by his genius and
the valor of his soldiers-in sight of the
last citadel of the Confederacy-the
monument might well be placed. And
if the representatives of Richmond
shrink from the responsibility or ex-
pense, we feel safe in pledging
Tor Petersburg the spirit to wei
come such an honor and the
money TO pay for it, Out upon the
narrow talk of ejaculation of dollars aud
cents in such case We blush to
know that any argument should be
needed, or any reflection on our capt.
tai city possible. Correct your mis-
take, gentlemen, or give give way for

We assure our Petersburg CORE
spondent who writes TO us on the sub
ject of race preiudices that we read his
letters and enjoy them very much.
But our friend hadn't read the latest
news from Ohio when he penned his
last letter to us. 1t appears that in
spite of the law passed last winter
opening the white schools to the ne
groes, the Ohio people refuse to swell
come negroes into their white schools.
They evade the law by keeping the negro
schools open and calling them branches
of convenient white schools-as if the
colored Normal School in Richmond
should be declared to be branch of
the High School, but all the negro chill
dren should be kept in the former and
ell the white children in the latter.

dow, and they will walk in by the

Antarctic EXnlOratlOn.

Antarctic exploration Is to receive an
impetus in the interest of both science
and business. The Australians have
concluded that as pole-hunting goes the
antarctic regions have been very much
neglected, and for some time there has
been talk in Australia of rectifying
the matter. The result of this is
that the Premier of the colony
of Victoria has decided to in
selt in the estimates of the year the
sem Of $4,000, ia be divided between
two ships which viii be designated to
make antarctic voyages. Each ship
will carry two scientific gentlemen, who
will be provided with all necessary APP
paratus for making scientific observa-
tons, and it is expected to find within
the Polar circle valuable seal and whale
fisheries, and harbors now uncharted
where vessels can find shelter. If these
expectations shall be realized the reye-
nues of the colonies will be largely in
creased.

Mn. RANDALI.-Our neighbor of the
Times, who is well acquainted with Mr..
RANDALL personally, describes him with
perfect accuracy as n muscular and
powerful opponent of all rings and
Jobs" The 7ymes's article from which
we quote is as follows:
"That is very thin idea to attempt
to read Mr.. Randall out of the Demo
cratic party.
"The only sensible meaning it would
have would be plan to break up Mr..
Randall as leader on the floor of the
House. OF course he could not be the
acknowledged leader if there is to be
positive policy on the tariff.
"But, aside from that he is a muscu
lar and powerful opponent of all rings
and Jobs, and is the best leader, except
Carlisle, that we have had in the House. "

CHICAGO, September S.-A Times
special from Eushvilie, Ind, says that
two destructive fires occurred there yes
terday, burning two dwellings entirely
and damaging others, and destroying
several barns and the old Woolf mills,
containing machinery to the value of
about $4,000. There was no insu-
rance on anything. The wind was
blowing at high gale, and at one time
it was thought the city would be de-
stroyed, but the flames were finally
subdued. The fire started in a stable
belonging to William Ravens. 1t i9

AYoub's Flight

Whether il be true or not that Rus
STA had nothing to do with AYoUB
KHAN's escape from Teheran, it is GER
tain that his flight at this particular
juncture appears to be very significant,
and that there is a disposition to take
Russian assurance Of non-complicity
cum gr0nO Sdls. Russia's latest move
ments in Central Asia indicate that she
is only seeking an excuse to interfere
Gin the interests of peace and civiliza-
ton" in Afghanistan, in which event
she could not have a more useful ally
and tool than AYoUB KHAN. Not only is
the son of SHERE ALI a good fighter, as
WAS shown in his resistance TO the Bri-
fish and his war with ABDURRAHMAN,
hut be is a good plotter as well. He
was the candidate Of the numerous
Duranis for the rulership of Afghanis-
tan as against the present Ameer, and
had large following among the
Ghilzais, which latter have neyerceased
to chafe under ABDURRAHMAy's yoke.
Both his following among the Duranis
and the Ghilzais and their partisans
could, it is contended, be rallied even
now, were there any assurance of non
interference on the part Of the British.
If this be so there can be no question
that they could be rallied had he the
srnpOrt of Russia. The present inter
complications of Aighanistan and
the probability of the Ameers death in
the near future would seem to point
to the approach of Russia's opportunity
to give him that support. If not, why

STREET RAuRoADs.-1n an interest
ing article on street railroads, the Pro-
violence Journal makes the point that
q break Of the cable at any one point
must, Of course, mediately stop traf-
fic throughout the entire line while
the failure of SIT gle grip to release its
hold upon the cable may cause serious
damsge, as was recently shown in Phila-
delphia, where an accident of this sort
blocked traffic on Market street for fully
four hours.
The Journal adds:
"And this indicates, too, one of the
limitations Of any system Of electric
propulsjon which gains its motive power
nom a direct current the failure of the
conductor must. Of course, as in the
case OF the cable, mean the immediate
stoppage Of every ear upon the line.
The journal also finds an objection
10 the use Of horses. II says:
"In every busy community the car
horse powerfully appeals TO the sympa-
thy of the tender-bearted. Even in
our own city, whore, us even the way
farer may see, every possible care is
taken Of these animals. it is plainly i'm
possible 10 avoid the imposition OF an
extreme amount OF suffering in times
Of heavy traffic or slorm-impeded track.

horses adds seriously 10 the problem Of
